I need the correct part number for a cooling fan for Corvette 1967 427- 400 HP with air condition.

Per the latest 1967 TIM&JG (page 174) indicates the fan blade assembly for all BB with or without factory AC is part # 3888366. This is a five blade fan with flat head rivets and a W logo. The overall diameter is 17-1/2 inch.

LICS probably has a correct repro. Also many places sell used originals. Check the Driveline or Hemmings.

Luis,
Is the car a 4-speed or automatic. As I am sure you know, the automatics had the front licence plate under the passenger side bumper from the factory. If I am not mistaken, this is the only front plate not in the center from the factory.
The fan may also be different on the 67, BB, A/C, Automatic cars as well as the location of the front plate.

Hi Monte It is 4 speed, Some people say the fan is 7 blades part number 3955182 and the TIM and JD say on page 174 that or big block with or without air-conditioning use 5 blades part. number 3888366.

Luis,

The 3955182 fan did not exist in 1967. GM # 3888366 was replaced with GM # 3955182 in April 1971 as per Chevrolet Parts History for service parts. As far as I know the 3955182 fan first appeared in the 1970 Corvette AIM (UPC C60, C1).

Luis,
I have only delt with the 67,BB, A/C, automatic cars. Again, they were their own beast. They threw everything at those cars and they still overheated. Eventually moving the front licence plate to under the passenger side front bumper to allow more air to flow over the center of the radiator opening.

Dave,
What does the parts book call out for these cars, as far as the fan goes? The three I have seen all have 7 blade fans on them. If I remember correctly the 7 blade fan was original to these cars, but I will go back and see if I can find anything on the matter. Like a part number on the fan, if I can find one.

My 1967 Chevrolet Parts Catalogs (April 1967 & July 1967) list fan # 3888366 for 66-67 Corvettes w/427. There is no other fan listed for 66-67 Corvettes w/427 & AC. As Larry and Joe state, all 66-67 Corvettes w/427 with or without AC used the 3888366 fan.
